Many plants emphasize the importance of
safety within their gates. But, others take it a step farther by supporting safety
programs that focus on their nearby communities. Here is a recent story:
Aluminium Bahrain
B.S.C. (Alba), one of the leading industrial companies in Bahrain and a
well-known aluminium smelter in the world, today, Saturday, April 23, 2016
launched its child safety awareness campaign ‘Make the Right Choice for your
Child – Booster seats’.
The Campaign
launch was held as a community event in Seef Mall, Seef District, Bahrain in
coordination with representatives of the General Directorate of Traffic, Bahrain
wherein families were educated about the importance of using booster seats for
children in the age group of 4 to 8 years. The families were also given free
booster seats along with a demonstration on how to use them correctly.
Speaking about
this Campaign, Alba’s Chief Executive Officer Tim Murray said:
“Awareness and
education about car safety for children plays an important and lifelong role in
preventing injuries and fatalities. At Alba, safety is a top priority at all
times and we want to spread our belief to the community as well. Through this
campaign, we intend to raise awareness about booster seats, which are crucial
in significantly reducing the risk of injury in older children.”
Alba will also
conduct a three-day programme on its premises from April 24 to 26, 2016, to
educate its employees about the use of booster seats for their children.
Lectures and presentations will be given by authorities from the General
Directorate of Traffic and representatives from Alba’s Safety, Healthy and
Health (SHE) department. This three-day programme will be attended by Alba’s Executives,
Directors, managers, Alba Labour Union and Alba Trade Union as well as employees
from various departments. To further emphasise on its message, Alba will also
distribute free booster car seats to its eligible employees.
Further commenting
on the campaign, Seef
Properties CEO, Mr Ahmed Yusuf said, “Health and safety is among our top
priorities and we always welcome companies and organizations to launch such
initiatives at our Malls as it is part of our social responsibility and
believing in giving back to the society, helping in raising awareness and
creating a wide impact on the society. This will in return strengthen our
position as the leading family destination in the Kingdom of Bahrain.”
In May 2014, Alba had launched its first child
safety awareness campaign “Make the right choice for your child’s safety”,
which highlighted the importance of using car seats for children.
The Aluminium Plant Safety Blog is very proud of the good work Alba
does to promote safety within their plant, to their nearby community, and
within our industry. Keep up the good work!
